STORRS — — Kelley Hardwick, the security official who filed a lawsuit against coach Geno Auriemma and USA Basketball in June, has amended her employee discrimination complaint and demanded a jury trial in her case.

Hardwick, a veteran of international and domestic assignments for USA Basketball's women's program, the NBA and the WNBA, filed the suit in New York alleging that she was removed from the women's detail at the London Olympics after spurning sexual advances from Auriemma on a trip to Russia in 2009.

Auriemma's attorney sought to have the complaint dismissed, as have attorneys for USA Basketball, saying Hardwick's recent assignments are evidence that her career was not impeded. Auriemma, UConn women's coach, has denied the allegations.

Hardwick was assigned to USA Basketball's men's team at the Olympics and has worked WNBA and NBA postseason assignments since her suit was filed.

At the center of the amended complaint, filed Wednesday by Hardwick's attorney, Randolph McLaughlin, are further allegations that she faced a hostile work environment at the Olympics because of the lawsuit.

Hardwick alleges says she was denied proper credentials to enter arenas and that Auriemma yelled at her during a practice.

Hardwick says that Auriemma shouted 'We'll see who wins [the case]' at her after an impromptu meeting at the team hotel during the Olympics.

According to the new complaint, Auriemma and Hardwick were assigned to the same floor of the same hotel in London.
